Privateer headed out this afternoon for another epic dolphin day. Not just the 50 bottlenose dolphins but about 350 short beaked common dolphins. Both species were being super playful and gregarious with breaches and tail slaps and endless entertainment. The beauty of dolphins is they sleep unihemispherically, half their brain on and half off, so they can be active any time of day! I’m glad we caught up with them when they were feeling flashy and splashy.

Can’t wait to see what’s out there for the sunset trip!
